The CD i have is short on space to burn LinuxMint-8. Can i extract Mint-8 to<br>
a USB stick, then boot from the stick instead of from a CD?<br>
<br>

In short yes - You have to make sure you write the master boot record<br>
into the first 512 byte of your USB stick (boot sector) and then make<br>
sure your BIOS supports booting off USB.There are very many guides on<br>
the net to help you with that.<br>
